Duck Mountain Provincial Park

Highlight • Natural

Duck Mountain Provincial Park is on the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border and is one of the largest parks in the region. This park is made up of forested hills, Madge Lake and Mountain Lake, and wetlands with rolling uplands, dense aspen and spruce forests, and plentiful wildlife, including moose, deer, and a variety of birds. Hiking, cycling, and camping are popular here in summer, and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling are what's popular in winter.

Pelly Point Nature Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Pelly Point Nature Trail traverses a narrow peninsula that juts into Madge Lake, passing through swaths of forests and grassy meadows. Along the Pelly Point Nature Trail, you’ll pass some of the Duck Mountain Provincial Park’s oldest trees, so keep an eye out for huge Manitoba maples, which are beautiful when they change colours in the fall.

Madge Lake Picnic Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pelly Point Nature Trail ends at a viewpoint with a picnic table and a warming shack. The views are northward, out over Madge Lake and the surrounding wetlands. In 2016, Madge Lake experienced an "ice quake" (cryoseism), leaving a 2-kilometer-long crack in the ice.
